Chihuahua History
The mighty Chihuahua warriors are thought to have been derived from the Techichi, a small mute dog kept by the Toltec people of Mexico. Compared to other small dog breeds, Chihuahuas have been known to serve alongside their owners in many ways. Because of the history of where this breed originated, the Aztecs believed that the spirit of a deceased Chihuahua acted as a guide for the soul of the afterlife to reach their heavenly destination. Chihuahuas are believed to be bred from the hairless chihuahua, better known as Xoloitzcuintli. In 1904, the AKC (American Kennel Club) recognized this type of dog as a true breed.
Chihuahua Personality
The descriptions of this breed are fun, outgoing, shy, anxious, sassy, playful, serious, loyal, protective, or reserved. The PAW Patrol hero Tracker has many of these characteristic traits. A few of Tracker’s dislikes are the dark, loud noises, being too cold, and any animal being in danger. Most Chihuahuas do not like sudden loud noises because of their amazing hearing and large ears. Because of Tracker’s great sense of hearing and a strong desire to help his fellow teammates, he is a great asset to his team. Tracker is a great indication that Chihuahuas are and have been a great companion to have around for centuries.
